Thanks, Dave, for that pointer.

This patch also works for me for WinXP.

Danny, according to that bug report in SF, you said that you're not 
submitting that bug to GCC because you couldn't test it on Win 2K and 
XP. Now it's been tested on both platforms, are you willing to submit 
that patch to GCC?

Thanks
